The animations seen in this video were contributed by regular blog reader David, and I would like to thank you for your input. They show quite nicely how each release/trap gate rotates on its axis to open or close the chamber. They also indicate the fact that these chambers will be removable to allow easier handling of the mosquitoes at the start and end of each experimental iteration.

David I hope you don’t mind my adding the title and captions.

David was instrumental in helping develop the model in Autodesk Inventor 2015.

He has also convinced me to test the design using computational fluid dynamics, which is yielding interesting results and may result in some design changes to the main body of the olfactometer.

Thanks again David!
